The British Academy, founded in 1902, is the UK’s national academy for the humanities and social sciences, and brings together over 1600 leading minds in these subjects from the UK and overseas.

It is also a funding body for research - nationally and internationally - and a forum for debate and engagement.

  • Professor Nicola Miller, Professor of Latin American History and Director of Institute of Advanced Studies

They join 3 more Fellows from UCL who have been elected to the Fellowship. In total, they join another 78 Fellows who have been elected to the Fellowship, including 52 UK Fellows, 29 Corresponding Fellows and four Honorary Fellows.
